every morning

the cool morning
leaves turning
she is too far away from me
and there is nothing i can do about it
except wait
the path always takes us places we do not expect
places we can't plan for..
no matter how much faith we feel
or how much doubt we ponder
we are children,
and every morning is Christmas,
when we believe in what we believe,
it is not easy to live like this.
in fact,
it is brutal to believe what we believe..
it demands every emotion,
every thought,
every failure,
every success,
every joy and sadness..
every morning..
